Chapter 801: Chapter 493 The Old Demon Woman’s Counterattack
The Pan Shi City governing area, due to the notorious Death Lord, saw a large-scale migration escape.
Zi Liyuan’s twelve lords divided into twelve armies, advancing in all directions to capture towns within the territory.
The armies marched and reached the target cities.
The city gates were wide open, with abandoned garrisons honestly lined up on both sides, hanging banners to welcome the army into the city.
Resistance was impossible!
...
After all, with only a meager salary, who would risk their lives for just that bit?
Besides, even though the Death Lord was fearsome, there had been no news of him massacring the garrisons.
Those who were killed were the Buddha’s main forces, not the city defense garrisons who surrendered and were free of unscrupulous crimes.
Some strong figures within the garrisons were even recruited as part of the Death Lord’s army.
Those who committed crimes had long fled; those who remained were honest men.
One city after another was easily taken.
Each city garrison was disbanded and reorganized, with some becoming subjects and others part of the new garrison.
In total, the twelve lords advanced the army of over a million to the frontier without encountering significant resistance.
In the wilds, they only met some clueless bandits or alien tribes.
Such nuisances were effortlessly crushed by them.
The dead stayed dead.
The captives were branded as slaves and then escorted deep into the mines.
From then on, they would die mining.
As for escape, there was no need to even consider it.
The mines were filled with numerous robots, most of which were modified by Shen Yurou.
They were once war machines on the battlefield!
Did a bunch of unarmed, low-level miner Black Slaves really think they could defeat these robots with their iron picks?
The entirety of the Pan Shi City governing area was swept clean.
The Land of the Dead expanded once more.
…
Heavenly Phoenix City, Yiluan Hall.
“Damn Death Lord, he’s taken down Pan Shi City so quickly!”
The thunderous voice of fury echoed in the great hall.
All the ministers knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
Perhaps the Buddha, seated high on the dragon throne, didn’t understand why Pan Shi City, a land as valuable as Tianxiang City, fell so easily.
But how could these ministers not understand?
After all, the majority of benefits beneath them were respectfully given to them, allowing them to turn a blind eye.
Even the families behind them participated in the plundering and profiteering.
And Pan Shi City, as a territory surrounded by the Buddha’s domain, faced no threats from its borders.
The only consideration was the alien races recruited weekly from the Sea of Realms.
However, with each town recruiting twelve thousand Second Tier soldiers, those alien people wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in the towns.
As for the mining in the wilderness, Fourth Tier Corps were stationed to guard it.
The labor for mining naturally came from the slaves they had captured.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
As for the origin of these Black Slave workers, they came from various sources—deceived subjects, captured aliens, prisoners of war from slave traders.
Various kinds were tossed into the mines to dig until death ended their toil.
Anyone daring to flee had to prove they had the capability.
Anyone caught would be ruthlessly beheaded, their bodies hung as warnings in the mines to deter those with thoughts of rebellion.
Therefore, the only formidable force in the Pan Shi City area was the mine-guarding army, along with the three hundred thousand Professional army and five thousand Epic Warriors stationed within the city.
However, from the detailed intelligence reports submitted from Pan Shi City, the strength of this Death Lord was exceptionally powerful.
Just a few people had wiped out a million orcs.
With such power, how could the mere three hundred thousand-strong Professional army and five thousand Epic Warriors stop their advance?
Thus, the Buddha’s three hundred thousand troops perished as expected.
Meanwhile, these ministers had long realized that the Buddha’s territory was as fragile as a pile of eggs.
The eight lords, usually oppressed, had already allied, deploying troops to confront the border garrisons.
A war between the two sides could break out at any moment.
When the time came, at least half of the elite forces under the Buddha’s command would be tied up.
Meanwhile, the threat of the Death Lord grew stronger.
At the very least, a minimum of fifty thousand Epic Warriors was needed to possibly fend off and defeat them.
As for a Fourth Tier Professional army going against the Death Lord, it was merely offering themselves.
Merely Mo Yi, under the Death Lord, controlled a terrifying Evil Formation that could summon billions of Demon Souls.
A Fourth Tier Professional army couldn’t even handle this swarm of Demon Souls.
So, to confront this Death Lord, they could only rely on top-tier power to crush them and directly break them.
Several ministers exchanged various glances as they knelt on the ground.
They had already jabbed each other before arriving and even devised a plan together.
They were merely waiting for the Buddha to calm down slightly before presenting their joint plan.
